> I blame the participation trophy era of kids.

As one Gen Y/Zer once commented: Those trophies weren't handing out themselves, and they weren't the kids' idea. Whose idea were they?

You're engaging in it yourself right now by using euphemism/implication to suggest a certain type of person instead of just saying "whiny, overly sensitive children" (which I assume is what you mean).

You should remove the plank from your own eye, first.

You don't get to blame others for your voluntarily chosen courses of action.

There is a difference between euphemism and idiom, nicknames and handwave identifiers.
